During the first half of 2026, CD Projekt Red posted revenue of $116.5 million (approximately 435 million PLN), marking a 23 percent increase compared with the same period a year earlier. The company’s bottom line also improved dramatically, with net profit climbing 37 percent to $66.7 million (about 249 million PLN). This strong performance translated into a net profit margin of 57.2 percent, underscoring the studio’s efficient cost management and the continued commercial appeal of its flagship properties. A major component of the earnings boost was the rollout of a comprehensive three‑year launch strategy for The Witcher franchise.
Central to this plan is the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered, scheduled for September 29. The updated edition will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and, for the first time, as a native version for the upcoming Switch 2 console.
Existing owners of the original game will receive the remaster at no extra charge, and the package will include both of the previously released expansions, ensuring that long‑time fans can enjoy a complete, polished experience without having to purchase additional content. In addition to the console releases, CD Projekt Red announced a strategic partnership with Blizzard Entertainment. Through this collaboration, the remastered Witcher 3 and the forthcoming expansion titled Songs of the Past will be distributed on Blizzard’s Battle.net platform, expanding the game’s reach to a broader audience of PC gamers who use the service as a central hub for their gaming library. The sales figures for The Witcher 3 continue to climb.
To date, the title has sold more than 65 million copies worldwide, and the entire Witcher series—encompassing the original games, spin‑offs, and related media—has surpassed the 90 million‑copy milestone. These numbers reflect the enduring popularity of the series’ rich storytelling, deep role‑playing mechanics, and expansive open‑world design.
Parallel to the Witcher successes, CD Projekt Red’s other flagship IP, Cyberpunk 2077, also demonstrated strong performance. The game has now crossed the 40 million‑unit sales threshold, a testament to the studio’s post‑launch support, numerous patches, and free‑to‑play updates that have helped restore player confidence after its rocky launch. The recent expansion, Phantom Liberty, has sold an impressive 15 million copies in less than three years, further extending the life of the Cyberpunk universe and generating additional revenue streams. Cyberpunk’s influence this year extended beyond traditional gaming channels.
Elements of Night City appeared as cross‑promotional content in the newly released titles Wuthering Waves and Apex Legends, exposing the brand to millions of additional players. Moreover, a Cyberpunk‑themed trading card game launched on Kickstarter and quickly became the platform’s most‑funded project ever, highlighting the franchise’s cultural resonance and the enthusiasm of its fan community.
Looking ahead, CD Projekt Red is preparing to release Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, a sequel to the popular anime series co‑produced with Studio Trigger. The new season is slated to debut on Netflix on October 20, providing another avenue for narrative expansion and brand visibility. Chief Financial Officer Piotr Nielubowicz emphasized that licensing agreements, such as those with streaming services and third‑party developers, are becoming an increasingly important pillar of the company’s financial strategy, complementing the steady income generated by direct game sales.
Earlier in the year, CD Projekt Red disclosed a modest 6 percent rise in total revenue for the first quarter, reporting $52.5 million (191 million PLN). This uptick coincided with the announcement of a third expansion for the 2015‑era Witcher 3, reinforcing the studio’s commitment to extending the lifespan of its existing titles through high‑quality downloadable content. In June, the parent company CD Projekt announced a rebranding effort, officially changing its corporate name to CD Projekt Red.
The move reflects the organization’s desire to align its public identity more closely with its most recognizable development studio, which has become synonymous with ambitious, narrative‑driven RPGs. Overall, the first half of 2026 has been a period of robust financial health and strategic growth for CD Projekt Red.
The combination of strong legacy sales, successful expansion releases, new platform partnerships, and an expanding licensing portfolio positions the company well for continued success in the competitive gaming market. As the remastered Witcher 3 and upcoming Cyberpunk content roll out across multiple platforms and media, fans can expect a steady stream of fresh experiences, while investors can look forward to sustained profitability driven by both direct sales and ancillary revenue streams.
